PRESS RELEASE, June 28, 2010
Texas, or the Lone Star State as it is affectionately and widely known, is the second largest U.S. state in both area and population, spanning no less than an astonishing 268,820 square miles, and with an ever-growing population that is currently in excess of 24 million. Houston is its largest city and the fourth largest in the United States, while Dallas–Fort Worth is the biggest metropolitan area in the state, and the fourth largest in the nation. Other major cities in this diverse and multi-cultural state include San Antonio, and the capital: Austin.
But that is not all: all across Texas there lurks a wide array of monsters, mysterious beasts and diabolical creatures that science tells us do not exist – but that a significant percentage of the good folk of Texas certainly know otherwise.
In Monsters of Texas you will learn a great deal about countless bizarre critters, including the following:
· Giant winged-things: feathered batmen, huge birds, pterodactyl-like beasts, and glowing-eyed gargoyle-style entities that haunt the Texas-Mexico border;
· Texas’ very own version of Puerto Rico’s infamous vampire-like monster, the Chupacabras;
· Blood-thirsty, predatory werewolves said roaming the wilds of Texas by the eerie light of a full moon;
· Texan equivalents of the famous Loch Ness Monster of Scotland: water-based beasts of unknown origin and identity that occasionally surface from the murky depths;
· The legend of the hairy wild-man, and wild-woman, of the Navidad that struck terror into the minds and souls of the people of the area way back in the 1800s;
· Encounters of the distinctly Bigfoot kind in central and east Texas; as well as in the state’s legendary and mysterious Big Thicket woods;
· Out-of-place animals: those creatures that are found within the Lone Star State, yet that have apparently strayed – sometimes inexplicably so - far away from their normal habitats;
· Those truly ominous beasts that may be far less than flesh-and-blood in nature, and far more paranormal and supernatural in origin;
· The diabolical, cloven-hoofed Goat-Men that haunt the dark woods of Lake Worth, the old Alton Bridge at Denton, and Dallas’ White Rock Lake;
